Tantolunden
Tantolunden is a large park by Årstaviken on the island of Södermalm. Its location close to the restaurants and cafs of Hornstull, Mariatorget and SoFo has made the area a popular meeting place for young Stockholmers.
People of all ages meet here for swimming and picnics in the summer and for sledding in the winter. There's a playground, beach volleyball court, minigolf, a frisbee golf course and an open-air theater. The park is also a popular festival arena which hosts several regular annual events, including outdoor movies.
Don't miss the chance to take a stroll up the hill and enjoy the more than 100 allotment gardens and garden sheds. Creative carpentry and gardening have been blooming behind the fences since 1915. The Zinkensdamm hotel and hostel and the Zinkensdamms IP sports arena are next to the park.
